Goosander family












I first came across the female Goosander and her chicks yesterday morning whilst out for my morning constitutional with the dog but unfortunately I did not have my camera with me.
I took my small digital compact with me this morning not really expecting to get a 2nd chance and I was delighted to come across the family in the same location as yesterday.
There was a hungry Heron paying some attention to them but I honestly believe that the chicks are now too big to fall prey to a predator who prefers smaller ducklings.
